Most of the blame has to be with Chelsea's management. They knew what he was like when they signed him. Sending him the text was stupid but not as stupid as the posturing that has gone on on both sides since. It's not that complicated. Chelsea told Costa they didn't want him in June after he said he wanted to leave. They should just sell him instead of getting involved in a childish battle of wills. It is a pure business decision. When a player wants to leave you have to get rid. We had to bite the bullet with Trevor Francis, arguably Francis Lee, SWP, and even Paul Stewart. If any of our team want to leave then we should get rid asap for the best possible money. Liverpool are also being stupid with Couthinio. They could have sold him weeks ago for £100m and brought in players to sort out their defence. It is just an ego trip for Klop.
